He finally regretted the president’s attitude towards the businessmen.

“It is a pity that he has never considered the possibility of working with all Colombians. His responsibility as president is to seek the unity of Colombians, it is his obligation. He has refused to fulfill it perhaps for political reasons, but the cost is paid by the entire nation.”.

Petro’s answer

In response to the message of the president of the Andi, the head of state said, also on social networks, which “Bruce’s national agreement was always an agreement with himself, it always consisted of keeping the worker with low salary”.

According to the president, the union leader “He never thought of as statistics demonstrate, that raising wages and job stability could be the most important factor in economic reactivation. He never thought that industrialization is promoted with agrarian reform and the generalization of higher education in youth, never saw the path of productivity based on knowledge. Upon barely accepted that a real rate of interest was necessary, and it does not fight to achieve it.”.

In his message, Petro also said that Bruce Mac Master “He never accepted that the industry today is a combination of cheap clean energy, knowledge and optical fiber. He sabotaged the financing law to the point that defeated the article that allowed to lower the income tax to all companies in the country to 30%,”.

He added that Mac Master “dedicated himself to destroying how much social reform presented the government, forgetting that the time of world neoliberalism has already passed and that we are in the most socially unequal country in America, and that it cannot be growing healthily.”

Finally said that “A national agreement is of diverse social forces, it is with the Colombian people and not simply with the guests to the club. It is not looking at the mirrors alone, shouting themselves embelled in ignorance, until the mirrors break”.
